Abstract

This paper presents a milestone of Muban Chombueng Rajabhat University in sustainability. The university was founded in 1954 with the concept of Village College. The purposes of the establishment were to provide educational opportunities for students and to solve the lack of teachers in distant areas around Thailand. The college trained teachers and practiced some skills to be community developers. Nowadays, the university is still on the pathway of sustainability. The university provides educational opportunities for all through degree programmes. Furthermore, the university has promoted the MCRU Credit Bank System for lifelong learning so that people of every background can participate in classes. As part of the community, the university cooperates with local communities to improve the quality of life and increase household income. For research and innovation, the university encourages academia and students to create projects focused on solving community problems. These projects impact society in all aspects, especially, good health and well-being. For the future, the university announces a five-year plan to demonstrate the direction of a sustainable university. The university improves curricula based on social dynamics and trains students to be global citizens. However, the decrease in new enrolment will be a new challenge. It affects the university's income also decreases. Therefore, it challenges the allocation budget to develop students and provide outreach projects. Moreover, the local communities also face the aged society, and this new challenge should be aware from all institutions. From this condition, the university is the partnership with communities to tackle these challenges and settle sustainability.

Abstract

Green Campus (GC) is an international program launched by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) which includes the philosophy, methodology and experience of Eco-schools, adapted to the specific university needs and problems. Through its seven-steps methodology, the GC program can be considered a kind of environmental management system, which includes external evaluation and pursues continuously improved environmental performance. The GC program began at the UDC in 2014, with autonomous implementation at the center level, promoting bottom-up initiatives in combination with other top-down initiatives. In 2022 it had reached all 20 UDC teaching centers, more than half of them having already achieved program certification (green flag award). This paper analyses the evolution and performance of the GC program at UDC, through two on-line surveys addressed to 1) students in general, and 2) coordinators and members of the environmental committees. Some difficulties identified are low involvement and participation of students and overload of tasks of all kinds, which hinders the volunteer participation of committee members. Nevertheless, a good overall rating was given to the program from participating staff and students. A SWOT analysis is also presented, summarizing the information obtained through surveys, together with the Office for the Environment's experience in the coordination of the different centers involved in the program. Finally, a strategy is proposed to improve the visibility of the GC among students and enhance their participation.

Abstract

In 2022, the University of Maribor has successfully acquired 23 pilot projects for a green and resilient transition to Society 5.0 as part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan of the Republic of Slovenia, which will be implemented in the period 2022-25. The aim of the pilot projects is thus to achieve curricular renewal and changes for a green, resilient, sustainable, and digitally connected university. We strive for sustainable, socially responsible, and high-quality development of scientific sciences and artistic disciplines as well as research fields and subfields developed by UM, considering the principles of smart specialization with an emphasis on solving social challenges. The pilot projects of the University of Maribor thus relate to the reduction of the mismatch between the knowledge of graduates and the needs of the labor market, as they address the harmonization of expectations regarding the knowledge of graduates on the part of the labor market and future professions on the one hand, and the creation of competences that the graduate should acquire through higher education studies on the other side. In this way, the study programs will be coordinated with the needs of the economy and society, and in addition to the competences dictated by the labor market, they will also acquire digital knowledge and competences for the green transition. With the planned contents of the pilot projects, we are thus linked to the sustainable development goals of the United Nations, which call on all learners to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to promote sustainable development by 2030, also by including environmental and climate issues in higher education, which while simultaneously using digital technologies as additional powerful enablers of the green transition, promote sustainable behavior in the development and use of digital solutions. Recognizing that universities are the key stakeholders in dealing with major social challenges, in the proposed pilot projects we fully address the objectives of the Guidelines for the renewal of higher education professional education with the proposal of an implementation plan, namely the green transition, the digital transition and the area of lifelong education and micro-evidence.

Abstract

In the light of global energy transition to renewable resources and energy efficiency usage, Ain Shams University (ASU) developed an ambitious plan to transform its campus into Green Campus. From an energy perspective, energy consumption data were continuously collected and audited to calculate the university campus carbon footprint. An energy usage strategy was established to tackle various pillars such as electrifying the campuses’ transportation system, improving energy efficiency usage, generating Renewable Energy (RE) for self-consumption, etc. Extensive research has been initiated on electric vehicles, wind and solar Photovoltaic (PV) energy generation with students’ activities/competitions. Thus, electric cars and buses were manufactured at the Faculty of Engineering (FoE) for elderly people and staff movement in ASU campus. Solar PV lighting poles with batteries were installed in the main campus. A small-scale Wind Turbine (WT) is manufactured and installed at the FoE and a pilot solar PV system is installed as well. Currently, an energy efficiency project is under implementation in various buildings/faculties and a parking lot that targets energy efficiency and solar PV energy generation. An energy efficiency measure is under implementation through replacing lamps with LED lamps, installing motion sensors, setting up a control center for monitoring and operation that is supported by Artificial Intelligence decision making algorithms. Rooftop solar PV energy systems are under design with smart meters. The project is targeting energy saving and bill reduction by at least 30% and as a result a reduction of carbon footprint will be achieved following the COP27 recommendations.

Abstract

This paper presents the University of Valladolid's Plan for Energy Saving and Efficiency (February 2023) and focuses on the keys developed in relation to the sustainable design and use of university buildings and the promotion of sustainable mobility, as well as on the objectives pursued by the Plan: to reduce the environmental impact and the associated energy costs, eliminate fossil fuels and seek self-consumption. The University of Valladolid has been working for years to improve its energy and environmental performance, using biomass as the main energy resource for heating and sanitary hot water systems in most of its facilities, for the construction of sustainable and efficient buildings, for carrying out energy renovations and continuous actions to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings, and for promoting sustainable mobility models among the university community. With these actions, the University of Valladolid has managed to reduce emissions of thousands of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year, improving conditions in university spaces and keeping energy consumption stable. This reduction in energy consumption has made it possible to contain energy costs in global scenarios of rising prices, as well as to minimize the application of harsh measures to reduce energy consumption (closing buildings, turning off air conditioning, etc.) that most higher education institutions in our country have been forced to apply.

Abstract

According to the International Energy Agency, energy and process emissions from buildings are responsible for nearly 33 % of global CO2 emissions in 2021; with two other leading sectors; transportation and industry with emissions of 22 % and 30 %, respectively. As a result, parallel with global signs of progress, the topic of energy efficiency and energy management in buildings has come to be a rule of energy policy in Cyprus International University (CIU) buildings. In Cyprus, similar to the reference of IEA, nearly 30% of the energy consumption is from the buildings, which is the most open to energy-saving measures. Since 2017, Sustainable Energy Research Centre in CIU has been working on the energy measures of CIU on both supply and demand sides. To increase the university’s sustainability further in the Energy and Climate section of both UI GreenMetrics and contribution to UN Sustainable Development Goals, conscious energy steps are taken both in energy saving and alternative renewable energy sources in the whole campus which resulted in making CIU a leading example of a sustainable university campus in the Middle-East as it holds the 3rd place for the most sustainable university campus in the region according to UI GreenMetrics World Sustainable University Ranking in 2022. In this paper, an energy audit study will be presented which evaluates the total energy load and energy-saving potential on campus and propose measures that should be taken. In order to conduct this study, Education and Humanities (EH) Building is taken as the pilot study which considers a detailed audit and actions to minimize energy consumption. Then the findings obtained from this energy efficiency study are generalized to all existing buildings on the campus and the expected effect of energy efficiency attempts is projected. These results are joined with the future alternative energy projects planned on the campus and the roadmap to nearly net-zero campus is discussed at the end of the study.

Abstract

The teaching profession as a decisive role in the construction of sustainability as a civilizing model. The present community service project aims to implement a teacher training and updating process on sustainability issues and teaching tools for environmental education aimed at Basic Education teachers. The methodology was structured in two stages: 1.- Development of the teaching training and updating process, considering institutional needs and emerging disciplinary themes; 2.- Process evaluation. The seminar was developed with the participation of 112 teachers from different educational units in the Province and included conferences on Education for the SDGs, Education for the conservation of biodiversity and climate change, Education for responsible consumption and Horizontal Education. For their part, postgraduate students developed six workshops on didactic strategies such as simulation, comic strips, bulletin board, creation of terrariums, role playing and asking game. The evaluation applied after the seminar showed high acceptance of the activities carried out by trained teachers and postgraduate students. In the next training sessions, postgraduate students are expected to go to the educational communities of the schools to contextualize the training. Finally, the strategy made it possible to strengthen university community services that promote sustainability
